 Hello Coach Sid,

Thank you for your comments on the 'Graffiti' challenge. However, I have to clarify the perceptions on the photo I presented for the 'Graffiti' challenge. The photo taken for the challenge comes from a very beautiful graffiti. I can send you the photo which proves that it is a graffiti as defined according to Wikipedia. However, I took the initiative to use my creativity and find an angle that gives honor to the artist who produced this graffiti. Also, it was the minimum level. So I do not have to work the picture. It is intact. I understand that this decision was not the right one if I look at the score and the comments. I respect the final verdict both in terms of the score and the comments. On the other hand I have the feeling that the voters believed that I had manipulated the photo taking something other than a graffiti. This is what I find disappointing and makes me sad for this challenge. I work hard to be the best from day to day and this is the hard part to deal with
------------------------
I found this challenge very funny. I went to Google map to find graffitis location. I found that people that created graffitis are artists in shadow. Within the collection of Graffitis photograph I stopped my choice with this composition that I titled "Racing street car".

Hope that you will like the composition

Hello from the critique club

An image that does not meet the challenge

Sorry Marcel this one doesn’t work for me. I have to agree with one of your commenters, there needs to be a sense of placement where this part of a larger scene such as wall mural with additional street scene if that is indeed the case. It actually feels like some bizarre PS filters have been used to transform a normal image which is a long way from my interpretation of the challenge theme.

I do not see how this is Graffiti. There is no indication what it is painted on to show that it is not a canvas or mural on a wall.
